(Source - also, any CSS/HTML wizzes know how to get a border around an embedded video, the same way I have borders around my pics? Putting in a style="border: 1px solid #586;" in the object tag only leads to a weird effect where I get half a border)

The border effect doesn't work because of the nature of objects/plug-ins. If my hunch is correct, the browser doesn't know how much space an object uses just before the plug-in is loaded, therefore it will draw the border at the default size. Thus the weird effect.

I can't find an easy way around it. Your best bet is to put the object in a div, then resize the div to be the width of the object. Then add your border to the div.
